Aftermath of the Black Tom munitions explosion of July 30, 1916. See notes under
A very similar shot, titled "Diving for Shells", ran in the The Sunday Oregonian. (Portland, Ore.), August 27, 1916. oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1916-08-27/ed-1/se...

Thanks for providing context for this image. We'll add information to the catalog record when we update.

Though the Navy introduced its classic Mark V diving helmet in 1916 and the early evaluation work had been done in nearby Long Island Sound in preceding years, this diver appears to be wearing an earlier commercial model AJ Morse 3 light helmet

1938, that's early!

My father was a hard diver in the 1950s, and we have a lot of old photos of him like this (climbing ladders, or on deck with a helmet being lowered into place). This warms my heart.
